Instructions in Case of Spasms
If you are affected by spasticity, slow and regular movement with
the MOTOmed viva 2 is important. Just like in physiotherapy, it is
recommended to train legs or arms in a way that no spasm will
occur.
Particularly in the beginning it is recommended to train at a slow
speed. You will notice that through this way of training, you will
experience less tension.
The
MovementProtector
with
SpasmControl
should always be
switched on (ex work setting) in case a spasm might occur or in the
case of sensitive tendons, joints or ligaments. If a spasm or a
resistance occurs, the motor stops automatically by the
MovementProtector.
After a few moments the pedals start rotating
slowly again in the opposite direction.
The
SpasmControl
changes the direction of pedal rotation according
to the therapeutic principle looking for the direction in which the
spasm can be eased (antagonistic inhibition). Therefore, muscles can
relax and tensions are being relieved. This process will be repeated
until the spasm is released.
During the training the integrated
MovementProtector
adapts
automatically to the condition of your muscles (muscle tone).
Therefore, the
MovementProtector
is always optimally sensitive.
In order to improve the support of the legs,
leg guides with calf
shells (item no. 502)
are an essential accessory in the case of
spasticity. They provide secure and firm support.
In case of strong spasticity it is recommended to use a
wheelchair
stabilizer (item no. 8)
or a
chair fixation with stabilizer (item
no. 511).
For special cases (e.g. osteoporosis, very strong spasticity) the
maximum motor power can be adjusted during passive training by
pressing the buttons “extras” and then “motor power”.
